Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds"

Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" is one of the most famous suspense movies ever created. Only Psycho has such a large following. Hitchcock was a master at making the pulse race and playing the right music at the right time for the biggest impact. What makes this movie stand out in the horror genre is the absence of a musical score. Key Poulan's imagination of what the musical score might have been takes the audience into a world of deeper fear.
